I base all my 54mm on 2p coins and use the appropriate movement trays from Warbases, it solves the falling down and moving problem but if I were starting out from scratch now I would probably go with the magnetic bases.<br /><br />Just to muddy the water, you probably have enough of these figures (and it's cheap enough to get more) that you could do both single and multiple bases.<br /><br />Best wishes, BrianBrian Carrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221659266588227029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-45280390590829641662015-12-02T02:14:31.934+00:002015-12-02T02:14:31.934+00:00I like the look of casulties laying about on the t...I like the look of casulties laying about on the table,but ifhaving to move more than about 50 figures going with movement trays would be the way to go.Dan Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162537595366441464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-87630709258519953722015-12-01T22:48:58.391+00:002015-12-01T22:48:58.391+00:00Unless you are going to knock them over using cata...Unless you are going to knock them over using catapults or spring loaded cannon, either method has honorable anticedents going back over half a century.<br /><br />After much experimenting I have come back to the Base camp.

I can use them for formed units and then individually in skirmish type games such as Lion Rampant.<br /><br />JimColCampbell50https://www.blogger.com/profile/15910423749022189030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-39830271151189232412015-12-01T21:43:03.160+00:002015-12-01T21:43:03.160+00:00Alan, I would consider basing each figure singly o...Alan, I would consider basing each figure singly on a magnetic base and then making movement trays or even sabots for your preferred multiples of figures.<br /><br />See my blog:<br /><br />http://jim-duncan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/movement-trays-american-civil-war.html<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.com
